🍁Nine Ancient Obelisks

- You can address me informally, - replied Erika.

Nodding, the "researcher" returned to her activities.

After that, she carefully examined the "thing" both inside and out, and also carefully looked around for any fragments, debris, and other items (both movable and immovable).

Most of the debris/fragments were in a cart that apparently belonged to the researcher Erika already knew; these were items of various shapes: here is an elongated cylinder, here is a cube made of what appears to be black metal, and here are some rectangular plates. Inside the "thing" it was too dark to see anything, but there was enough space for an adult to fit.

- Ushumgallu, - the calcitec shook hands. - Uh... This is all very interesting, that is, it's a pity that it burned down, and I don't quite understand what programs are inside yet.
Actually, the old man was strange, and one should be careful with him, but the words about "the first in history" had an effect.

- The incomprehensibility can be easily fixed. Come, I'll show you.
Esseres leads the guy into a room, in the center of which was a small ring, and on it - a mannequin similar to the one he had to deal with a little earlier.
- You need to inflict a thousand units of damage on it... The faster you do it, the better. This is the first exhibit of many, do you want to try?

Deciding not to get too close to the combat simulation area, Insho waved to the supposed instructor - a wild woman.
- Good morning! - added the lunar.

The woman took a few quick steps towards the lunar and, jumping like a cat, landed on her. With her hands, she grabbed her shoulders painfully, pressed her right thigh with one knee, and leaned on her stomach with the other, immobilizing her. - I smell estrus. - she said, sniffing the "victim". - What are you doing here?
